Owner-operators on file
McConnelsville’s two-tractor outfits and single rigs
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 13 active carriers based in McConnelsville, and none of the fleets it shows here runs more than two power units. If you are an owner-operator with one tractor or a farm with a pair of straight trucks, that is exactly the kind of seller we deal with, and the truck can stay parked in your own yard or barn lot while we arrange collection.
Split by operation, that same federal census counts six McConnelsville carriers authorised for interstate work, seven running intrastate only and four private fleets hauling their own goods. Tell us which of those describes you and have your USDOT number handy so we can match the truck to the registration you hold.
Grain, feed and dry bulk out of McConnelsville
Grain, feed and hay and general freight are each carried by four McConnelsville carriers, according to FMCSA’s census, with three hauling dry bulk commodities and three moving farm supplies. Hopper-bottom trailers, grain trucks, dump bodies and the tractors that pull them all fit that mix, and we buy the tractor, the trailer or both together.
When you send us photos of a grain or bulk rig, include the body or trailer from the side and the rear, plus the cab and the plate on the door. A short note on what it hauled last season helps us ask the right follow-up questions instead of generic ones.
Quarries and strip mines on both sides of town
Sergeants Plant, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists about 10.6 miles west, and Sharon Stone Company, another crushed-stone operation roughly 15.6 miles east, put aggregate hauling on either side of McConnelsville. S & S Aggregate, a sand and gravel site 15.8 miles north-west, rounds out that group in MSHA’s records.
Coal shows up in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register too, with CCU Athens Strip 16.4 miles west and Orange Strip about 21.6 miles east. If your dump truck or tractor is still sitting at one of those sites, give us the gate location and the name of whoever can let a driver in, and we will plan the pickup there rather than asking you to move it.
Barn lots and field gates
Cattle, corn and beans beyond the village limits
Around McConnelsville, the 571 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts across Morgan County lead with cattle, then corn and soybeans. Livestock haulers, feed trucks and grain tractors from those operations are all trucks we collect, whether they are parked by the barn or at a field gate.
On a farm truck, look for the title first and check the registration date on the cab card. If the registration has lapsed, say so up front; it does not stop a sale, and the title in your name is what matters most.
A title office one mile from the square
Ohio titles are issued through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles by County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the one serving McConnelsville is the Morgan County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 19 East Main Street, about 1.1 miles from the centre of town. If your title is lost or still lists a lender you have finished with, that office is where a duplicate or a corrected title comes from.
Bring photo ID and the VIN when you go to East Main Street, and if a lender was ever on the title, a lien release letter from them. Once you have the title in hand, send us a photo of the front and back so we can confirm the name and VIN match the truck.
Builders’ trucks and a Guard training site beside McConnelsville
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 817 jobs in McConnelsville for 2023, and County Business Patterns lists seven construction establishments. Contractors among those firms run dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies, and a builder winding down a truck can sell it to us straight from the job yard.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NG McConnelsville Training Site about a tenth of a mile north-east of town. If your truck is parked on a road near the training site, give us a clear address or a pin so the driver finds it on the first approach.
